What I expected however was for the anime to just cut the. Yeah, that’s not the sort of things you want to see in an anime. No, it’s not he likes them, he rapes them and then kills them. Well, simply put, Anehata is an animal lover. If you’re not a manga reader you might not know who’s Anehata. I’ve made no secret of how I expected it to suffer censoring and how I would wholeheartedly approve parts of it being censored. They decided to cut ENTIRELY the whole Anehata arc. I’m reporting it here as well, merely because the moving of the flashback at the end of this episode when it was fundamentally meant to be PRIOR to the ending of the previous episode affects things. It can be speculated that in this love triangle (Umeko/Sugimoto/Asirpa) in which Sugimoto is oblivious of Asirpa’s feelings, he saw the triangle between his father, his father’s wife and his mother and this can turn out to be a relevant plot point because, interesting enough, Noda had Asirpa waiting 11 volumes before asking Sugimoto why he was searching the gold, just while Ogata was present and could connect the dots.īut anyway, that was the previous episode’s problem. Sugimoto doesn’t understand why she did it (I told you, it’s an one-sided crush of which Sugimoto is oblivious) but it’s implied Ogata connects the dots and we see him smiling gently (the Japanese onomatopoeia used for his ‘heh’ in that scene is the one for soft, gentle laughs and one that normally is never used with him) and, possibly, sort of sadly in Asirpa’s direction. As in the manga Asirpa has a completely one-sided crush on Sugimoto of which Sugimoto is COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS and the situation is getting uncomfortable she does the crane dance to change the mood and divert the discussion on a neutral topic. …and claims that this means the woman Sugimoto loves is that widow. Ogata, who’s also present, connects this info with how Sugimoto told him he was searching the gold for the woman he loves… In this discussion Asirpa asks Sugimoto why he’s searching for the gold, Sugimoto replies he’s doing it to help the wife of his deceased friend. I’ve already discussed of how I’m strongly disappointed by how they handled the dancing crane scene but I guess repeating it helps get some relevant points.įor who’s not familiar with the manga but is watched the anime I’ll explain that the Ogata flashback you see at the end, in the manga, was presented much sooner, before Asirpa got the chance to do that crane dance, and I’ll also add that dance wasn’t done just because, but due to a certain discussion. This chapter starts with the continuation of the scene of the crane dance from the previous episode. In itself many things in this episode aren’t badly done… the problem are that various cuts done previously or during it or even changes in the placement of the scenes affected it greatly. Okay, sorry, I couldn’t help it, I have to talk about this episode.
